Substance is floodwater, purpose is drainage. If the land floods, naturally from runoff or by heavy rain, its still flooded. The stations I'm tagging are for putting water over the levee when the river is high during a typhoon, so they can not open the normal outflow gate, as it is below the

No, "floodwater" is not correct here. It's regular drainage we are talking about, as the territory around here is artificially kept dry. Without the pumping stations we would be living in swamps. Obviously the pumps would also try to deal with floodwater in case of heavy precipitations upstream, bu

Question on storm drain tagging - Most of the rivers here have storm levees to hold back the typhoon runoff (like right now in Kyoto) - and *every* single tiny stream and many drains from rice farming (drains are streams & streams are drains when everything goes through a field) go into a culv

You are right. It should be similar to the pipeline tagging. When I do more detailed mapping, I actually show the pipes that the water flows through. In hat case one should indicate the substance. In the specific case it is water (even though the pipeline "water" is always drinking water according

There is talk on the discussion page about tagging what it is pumping (drinking water, sewage, raw water, etc) so i think we should add the tag for is the the pipeline umm.. Medium? usage? Ill have to check what is the documented method for tagging what a pipe is carrying, and make sure there i
